Is it just my perception, or are there more winter fatalities this year? My condolences to all the families who have lost someone this year or any other year. People, please take the time to discuss driving habits with your families, emphasize get there and not when, just get there!!!

It does seem like there are more fatalities this year.
Not sure why that is, but it is very nasty out on the highways this year.
And it does seem like the maintenance is not up to par for some reason,but that may also be the just the weather patterns.
Maybe the milder weather and more ice?
But good advice,SLOW DOWN!
